MULTI USE BASKET

My friend gifted me this yarn and I wondered what I could do with it.. just one ball of yarn and this lovely extra thick yarn.. so I started scouring the net to see what would work best.  Coincidentally my friend (yes, the same one who gifted this yarn) has a lil baby girl, who obviously has dolls – so I thought this would make an ideal basket to hold the doll clothing and accessories.. whatchathink?

Materials used : One ball of this stunningly thick and soft acrylic Vardhman yarn, with a 10 mm crochet hook
To purchase : Pradhan Embroidery Stores is the official stockist for all Vardhman yarns.  If this is not available there, please contact vardhmanknitworld on Instagram or find their website of the same name and order.
For Non-Indians : The original pattern link uses tee-shirt yarn (I think.. that’s what it looks like) – and I’ve used this super bulky yarn.
You can make this project with any yarn and a hook that suits it.

Today I’ve decided to make a basket to hold Barbie doll clothing and accessories for a friend’s baby girl.  

I’ve been inspired by this video for my project.

Using this same pattern, you can work in different colours (a different colour per round) and use up all your stash.  When using stash though, remember that all yarns should be of the same type or thickness and can be used with the same hook.

As I've used a super bulky yarn today, this project holds it's shape really well, and it was made super fast too.  

SO in case you wanna use a thinner 4-ply yarn, I'd suggest you work with two or three skeins held together to get a thicker yarn.  If you use different coloured yarns, then you'll have a fun colourful basket at the end :)

I can see this basket being used in the bathroom to hold little rolled up face towels - or the kitchen with a similar use or to hold tissues. 
If you use some nice shiny yarn, it will also make a good container to gift a hand made item - so go ahead, create and spread smiles.  
  
I hope you had as much fun as I did.. have a great day too.
